When buyers are professionally represented, the transaction is typically smoother, more objective, and more likely to make it all the way to closing. That’s why, when it makes sense for your goals, we position your home to attract qualified buyers and the agents guiding them—so we widen demand, reduce friction, and protect your outcome.

​

1) Wider exposure and stronger demand

More eyes means more interest. Buyer’s agents actively bring listings to the clients they’re already representing—often buyers who are ready, motivated, and watching the market closely.
If we choose to launch as a Compass Private Exclusive, we can also create early momentum by pre-marketing to Compass agents and their active buyers before going public, helping us build demand and strategy from day one.

​

2) More qualified, better-prepared buyers

A good buyer’s agent helps educate their client on pricing, market conditions, and what it takes to win in the current market. That often means fewer “hopeful” showings and more serious buyers who are prepared to perform.

​

3) Cleaner negotiations and a smoother contract-to-close

With dedicated representation on both sides, there’s more structure and accountability in the process. Buyer agents guide timelines, inspections, lending, and buyer expectations—helping troubleshoot issues early so we can keep the transaction on track and reduce surprises.

​

4) Reduced liability and fewer post-closing regrets

Professional representation helps ensure buyers fully review disclosures, complete investigations properly, and understand what they’re agreeing to—reducing the risk of misunderstandings, renegotiation attempts, or buyer’s remorse.

Why offering buyer agent compensation can work in your favor

In the United States, commissions can be paid by the seller, the listing broker, or the buyer. Continuing the practice of offering buyer agent compensation (when appropriate) can increase the likelihood of having a professional agent on the other side—and can deliver real advantages:

• Attract more qualified buyers: it can make your home more accessible to a wider pool of serious buyers, including those preserving cash for down payment and closing costs.

• Simplify negotiations: fewer moving parts means cleaner conversations—often keeping negotiations focused on price and terms, not extra costs.

• Support a stronger purchase price: when buyers aren’t reserving funds for agent fees, they may have more flexibility in their offer.

• Help the home sell faster: reducing buyer friction can shorten time on market, especially in price points where cash sensitivity matters.

Seller acknowledges and understands that: (i) commissions are negotiable; (ii) Seller is not required to offer compensation to a Cooperating Broker; and (iii) any offer of compensation is at the Seller’s discretion.​
